Abstract

The article presents a study on how salinity shapes ocean circulation and ice geometry on Enceladus and other icy satellites. It also presents a Statistic analysis of the patterns of ocean circulation, temperature, and salinity level. It discusses how salinity and the partition of heat production between the silicate core and the ice shell effect ocean dynamics.
